Welcome to KING 2022-2023!
For returning KING families, welcome back! For new families, thank you for your interest. We look forward to meeting you and your swimmer(s) on the pool deck soon. Below is information you will need for Registration for the upcoming season.
As I alluded to in the end of season email, the USA Swimming registration process is changing for the 2022-23 season. More information can be found below:
|
According to USA Swimming, this new Online Member Registration Page will open on September 1. If we learn of changes, we will inform the membership accordingly. Please note that all families must complete this step before the first practice with KING.
First day of practice will be September 6. For Federal Way families, we were informed by the King County Parks and Recreation Department that KCAC will be closed for maintenance until mid-September (we have been told September 19). Thus, the Federal Way groups will be starting the season practicing at Marine Hills and Auburn Adventist Academy (assuming their repairs are complete) temporarily. We will be prioritizing the groups that will need to train for sanctioned meets in the Fall for pool space.
Returning swimmers will notice a change in the training group names. We do our best to help you cross reference last season’s group and the group you should register for in the new season. Please note that the practice times are based on the most current information we have from the pools. We believe they are sufficient for your planning purposes but they may change slightly once the season starts.
